Who We Are
Modalic builds UAVs to extend swarm range and enable real-time multi-domain sensing. Our carrier UAVs and sensing swarms use spatial AI to bring reality capture to the US and our Allies.
We started Modalic to unlock the potential of collaborative swarming. Attritable UAVs are limited by their range, payload capacity, and computational power. Modalic’s platforms put an end to this paradigm and bring swarms beyond the front lines.
Modalic was founded by experts in autonomous systems and multi-domain intelligence. Our team rapidly delivers critical technology to our national security users.
